Diving into MS FrontPage

This past quarter has been a whirlwind of learning and discovery, particularly in the world of website creation using Microsoft FrontPage.  It wasn't always smooth sailing, but the journey has been incredibly rewarding.

My biggest takeaway from this quarter is a newfound appreciation for the intricacies of web design.  Before, I viewed websites as simply collections of text and images. Now, I understand the underlying structure, the importance of user experience, and the power of well-placed elements to create an engaging online experience.  I've learned how to use MS FrontPage to build a functional website from scratch, including creating pages, inserting images and text, formatting content, and linking different sections. I also discovered the importance of planning and organization in web design.  A well-structured sitemap is crucial for both the creator and the user.  Finally, I gained a deeper understanding of how different elements work together to create a cohesive and visually appealing website.

One of the biggest challenges I faced was the learning curve itself.  MS FrontPage, while powerful, isn't the most intuitive software.  Understanding the different tools and their functionalities took time and practice.  I also struggled initially with integrating images and ensuring they were appropriately sized and formatted for optimal display across different devices.  Another challenge was debugging.  Finding and fixing errors in the code was time-consuming and often frustrating.  Finally, balancing the aesthetic appeal of the website with its functionality proved to be a delicate act.

To overcome these challenges, I relied heavily on online tutorials and documentation.  YouTube proved to be an invaluable resource, offering step-by-step guides and troubleshooting tips.  I also sought help from classmates and my instructor, discussing problems and sharing solutions.  Practicing consistently was key; the more I used FrontPage, the more comfortable I became with its features.  I also learned to break down complex tasks into smaller, manageable steps, making the overall process less daunting.  For debugging, I learned to systematically check my code, line by line, to identify and fix errors.

Moving on I will plan to continue practicing my web design skills.  I'd like to explore more advanced features of MS FrontPage and potentially learn other website building platforms.  I also want to focus on improving my UX design skills, creating websites that are not only visually appealing but also user-friendly and accessible.  I believe that continued practice and exploration will allow me to create even more sophisticated and engaging websites in the future.  I'm excited to see where this journey takes me!

  The Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004 (RA 9262) is an instrument to fight against VAW in our country. However, other laws has also a significant role in addressing different problems of this difficult issue.  The RA 7877: The Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995. This law tells a specific form of VAW that often goes unreported and unaddressed: sexual harassment.  RA 7877 defines sexual harassment as "any unwelcome sexual advance, request for sexual favor, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature" that creates a hostile or offensive environment. RA 7877 recognizes that sexual harassment can occur in various places, including the workplace, educational institutions, and public spaces. It goes beyond physical assault and acknowledges the psychological and emotional damage caused by unwanted sexual attention. The law has helped raise awareness about sexual harassment and empowered victims to find justice. It provides legal power for vict...

Reflection on Second Quarter: Mastering HTML Tags

Image
  The second quarter introduced me in the world of HTML tags, transforming my initial understanding into a confident understanding of web page structure.  I progressed from simply recognizing tags to understand their  relationships and the importance of attribute usage.  The practical application of these tags strengthen my understanding, allowing me to build functional web pages.  I have learned how to use tags and when to use them.    While the learning , my biggest challenge were my tags are accurate and correct but whenever I open them to a web browser, there would be something wrong with it.  Identifying the source of errors within intricate HTML code proved frustrating at times, especially when dealing with difficult and many codes. Not knowing where the problem in your coding is very time consuming. Another hurdle was grasping the subtle differences between seemingly similar tags and their appropriate usage contexts. This required big atten...

Starting alone, continued by all

  As times goes by, weather has been changing and shocking everyone. The atmosphere is rising in temperature, floods are being common, many landslides are occuring, and Sea Levels are rising. Because of us, being irresponsible in caring for the nature, we forget about what are its effects. In joining various programs and practicing effective actions, we can minimize the rapid changing of the climate. This change of the weathers, can destroy the agricultural lands and crops that affect the farmers and us consumers.   Bayanihan is one of the best characteristics of a Filipino. Bayanihan shows resiliency among us Filipinos because we are always ready to help. In times of calamities, we keep our smiles and just move on by helping each other to rise up from these nightmares. To have a stronger and effective preparation, the government implements various programs that spread awareness and knowledge about the change of climate. As we all know, we can never stop climate change. Howeve...
